Is there a name for this condition?

Question 1
Is there a name for this condition?...  What is the term to describe my behavior?
I "groom" myself a lot, by picking off the loose skin, and hair that's too long, and earwax, and everything else kind of obsessively. I'm a clean person, I wash my hands after I groom myself and never do it in public. It feels almost animal-like, sort of like I'm a gorilla picking things out of my hair. Is there a condition for this-? I've asked whether this was normal and people told me to get professional help.

Question 2
why cant we breathe in steam?...  why is it when there is steam i cant breathe when i do a facial or when the weather is humid its difficult to breathe am i the only person or is this normal and why does this happen?

Answers
1)   you are used to a much different humidity. People who live in a more humid country are used to a more humid climate, and wouldn't mind as much steam. - Russell

2)   its not that we cant but its just more difficult because the air has more moisture. - Missym

3)   I can breathe in steam, you might have bad Asthma. - Joshua G

4)   Steam is very hot and should not be breathed, it will burn your respiratory tract. high humidity is more dense with water content and is heavier taking more energy to move it in and out of your lungs. it is normal to recognize more effort needed to breathe in high humidity conditions. - creggztr

Question 5
i know someone who smokes and wont stop coughing!?...  Its DISGUSTING and I can't deal with it any more.
isn't there like a cough drop or something this person can take.

Answers
1)   Medically, it is usually diagnosed as "bronchitis" which simply means an inflammation of the bronchial tubes. Also, it can lead to a diagnosis of "asthma" due to the severity of the coughing, which can indeed produce an inability to draw breath. But these terms "bronchitis" and "asthma" dont really tell where the coughing is coming from however if he is smoking he need to stop. - cejay

2)   The only thing that will make the cough go away is for the person to stop smoking. The cough is due to excess mucous building up in the lungs from the damage the smoke is causing. - Garry
